Best Toilets

We purchased two Tono back to wall toilet suites. Initially we experienced the complained about issues with flushing. There is nothing wrong with… Read more

this series of toilets but the problem lies with the plumber who installs them as instructions are never read and so unflushed solid matter constantly causes blockages. If you read the instructions providing the plumber did not throw them out! there are two adjustments to increase the amount of water which will ensure 100% flushing without blockages. The factory setting is very conservative so minimal water is discharged on full flush with not enough water to fully push the solids beyond the bends.

First increase the total amount of water held in the cistern using the white plastic screw turning it clockwise. This should raise the total water level by about 12mm. The major adjustment is within the discharge valve housing. Remove the assembly by a ¼ turn anticlockwise and then take out from the cistern. Find the small adjustment assembly at the bottom. Unclip the slider lock with a tooth pick or similar then slide the adjustment all the way to the bottom. Relock the slider. Put back into cistern. Our measurements were originally 5 seconds of full flush water, with adjustment now 9 seconds full flush volume and zero blockages.

If the adjustments suggested are too complicated the simple solution to the flushing issue is to hold down the full flush button until the cistern fully drains and then you will have about 10 seconds of water which will certainly do the job but you need to use this method every time.

Got a Crystal Flush rimless toilet put in last month. Best flush ever! It has the vortex and also a quieter flush so you don't wake your partner up in the night!! A cracker of a toilet!

Comfortable to sit on. Flushes ok. Not too bad to clean behind the seat. The drainage part of the bowl is a regular size, it’s not one of those silly little outlets, nor a German style shelf pan.

Bought Croydex Eyre Flexi-Fix Plus soft close toilet seat from Bunnings (RRP $69.90) to go on a Novelli Cara toilet pan (original toilet seat was so… Read more

complicated to remove for cleaning and eventually broke). Croydex is a UK brand distributed by QEP Australia.

The fitting of the pan brackets was easy however the chrome plastic caps that cover the pan brackets did not initially fully click into place to cover the brackets, which I did not realise. This meant the seat did not properly attach to the brackets which have grooved metal spines for attaching the seat. When I worked out why the seat was not attaching and I pushed the plastic 'chrome' covers down that little extra further, the seat easily clicked on the bracket spines. Be careful when pushing down the caps over the brackets since it is designed to be a tight fit. One of my caps slightly cracked due to me pushing the cap down when it was slightly stuck on the bracket. The supplier has been very good with my customer enquiry and is arranging a replacement cap.

The soft close toilet seat lid and seat work well. The seat looks good. Very, very easy to attach seat to brackets and detach for cleaning etc. Good design. I trust it will last.

The brackets have an adhesive base to stop any movement (bracket designed to keep adhesive base off pan until you are happy with the location on the pan), as well as a bolt and nut through the pan holes. When bolt and nuts tightened to keep seat in place, the brackets come into contact with pan to allow adhesive to also fix the seat in place. Once brackets installed in place they can't be moved.

I have one slight regret, since this is the first time I have installed such a seat with the adhesive brackets, and that is to not line up the toilet seat lid with the front of the pan, but to have a slight overhang of the toilet lid so that the front of the actual seat itself lines up with the front of the pan. I know next time. Some might like the lid in line with the front of the pan (personal choice).

Saw this smart toilet at the Melbourne Home Show and was immediately sold. Since visiting Japan many years ago I had always wanted a smart toilet.… Read more

This toilet has it all - heated seat, heated wash and dry functions, plays sounds, has a nightlite and even a foot warmer for the cold Melbourne nights. Auto flushing, it requires no hands on and sanitises itself and even covers any undesirable odours when required. Gary Hartley and Violetta offer superior follow up services for any concerns and queries. It is better to incorporate as a bathroom renovation as the retrofitting that I did cost almost as much as the toilet itself. Still, no regrets - just a 'warm' welcome!

I highly recommend the Quoss Bidet (QB2020), which I have been using since 2023. The installation process was quick and easy, and the remote control… Read more

simplifies operation. The cleaning functions are exceptional and varied, contributing significantly to a feeling of greater hygiene and health for my family. The build quality has remained impressive even after two years; there have been no color changes or cracks, and the seat is very comfortable. Additionally, it operates quietly and is water-efficient. Overall, this bidet has proven to be an excellent and reliable product.

SIMPLY THE BEST. Great for elderly or in my case waiting to get cortisone injection in knee for osteoarthritis. Painful bending knee and this item adds 4 inches to toilet height. Pure magic. Thoroughly recommend. ❤️

A great price - simple and works – Really simple and effective. I purchased one for the ensuite and the whole family started using the ensuite bathroom so I ended up getting a second… Read more

one for the main bathroom also. Quick and easy to install and works great. No electricity required. Cold water only has not been an issue as we are in Qld. Two directional settings. The seat is creaky when you move around on it but that is the only criticism I have so for $100 I am very impressed. Have had the first one for around 6 months and have had no issues.

I had just replaced my toilet with a Fienza Chica suite and needed a new bidet because the existing bidet, a Lafeme didn't fit this new shape, which… Read more

is basically an elongated oval . I had looked around at just about everything on the market and kept coming back to the Conor Elara D shape.

At first on the recommendation of Gemini I went for a Luxe neo 185 plus, but the more I looked into it the more I was turned off.

You see, it comes from the USA where they use NPT threads, and I could see a couple of solutions, but it required a lot of mucking about and trial and error. Even the manufacturer could not give me a straight answer on how to hook an NPT thread to a G1/2 BSP thread, and they could not tell me whether it was 3/8 or 1/2 NPT, so more confusion and pain.

I went back to the Conor, sent them an email and they recommended the D shape based on the photo I supplied.

On opening, it was full of bits and pieces, a double ended screw driver, a spanner, two T connections, and a number of fitting choices. In the end I used what I already had, because my suite was a very awkward customer to use somebody else's screws and bits and pieces. Using the supplied template, I pushed the fixing bracket as forward as possible, tightened it up and connected the hose and that was it, finished. Now, the thing I noticed it was not as deep as my pan, but that made sense due to the fact of what a Bidet does. Then I noted it did not extend or sit square with the front lip of my pan, but then again neither did the supplied seat from the manufacturer of the toilet. I then tested it out, plenty of water pressure with both nozzles and the direction was pretty good as well. Conclusion, is, I am old, this suits me just fine, I don't need toilet paper, and I don't have to twist my body inside out to find or reach where the toilet paper needs to go.

Another thing, I compared it to the Lafeme I had which will cost you around $250.00 and found the quality was as good, and looking at the underside, it looks exactly the same and could have come out of the same factory.

Highly recommended and save the environment.

Alpine Toilet Suite – This unit was installed 7 years ago and I have been mostly happy with it. Looks good, easy to clean, and 4 star water rating. Since new, the bolts… Read more

on the seat need tightening regularly as the lid & seat keep loosening. My main gripe though is that when I replaced the seat and lid unit because the soft closing hinges no longer functioned, the set came in a totally different shade of white to the original unit. Doesn't look so good any more.

Great the kids bit hard to use for fully grown adults!

Design and ergonomics could be better – Pleased with two previous Aspire products purchased, this one has been rather disappointing. While it looks solid enough, it is less than practical. … Read more

The side handles on the standard width model are almost vertical with little to no elbow room making movements difficult. The splash guard is circular rather than oval leaving a large gap at the front. For male use with seat up it is guaranteed to splash. The plastic toilet seat is noticeably shorter than the Caroma seat it replaces. Finally the leg adjustment. Curiously only one of the 4 legs has fine adjustment (13 holes vs. 7). This rules out adjusting for a slight forward tilt. An 'Over the Toilet Aid' should make toilet use easier - not introduce new frustrations. Gave it 3 stars but can't recommend it.

Okay for the price – We bought two of these seats from Reece Plumbing to replace the original soft close seats in our apartment. The shape is square/round as per the… Read more

image. We bought them August 2023 and already there are signs that the soft close feature is failing. They go to almost closed, then drop the last couple of centimeters. On top of that I have had to re-tighten the installation screws twice and the seat has to be removed for that purpose.

On the bright side, the seats are otherwise sturdy and comfortable, and fit our toilets perfectly. We paid $80.00 each, which was okay.

Reece Plumbing at Clontarf, Qld were very helpful.

This was a replacement for a leaky toilet that had been fitted when I first built my house and as such many things have changed in toilet suites. … Read more

The old one, which was a Caroma ,was leaking and I thought it was cracked but upon removal I had found that the plumber had for some reason fitted two connectors one on top of the other and one had moved, nevertheless I went ahead and replaced the suite which was dated and also because it was cemented in place . The Fienza is a elongated oval shape bowl and is close coupled, meaning the cistern sits on top of the pan all ceramic and it had to be fitted against the wall.

The first problem is ,these suites are mostly P traps and not S traps meaning the connector comes straight out of the suite and does not form an S bend to a floor connection. Okay , you order the S pack that you think will connect to your floor or you buy the P trap toilet.

The kit that comes with this suite to make the S bend connection is to put it lightly, a pain in the butt. It requires a lot of measuring and cutting which can be frustrating for a lot of people and the S pack sent is made of more than one piece so it is next to useless, and in my case, because the setup in the floor was 20 years old, I had to purchase a Universal pan connector from Bunnings which simplified the whole operation.

The cistern is a 3 litre/4.5 litre flush which does not really save water as at times you have to flush twice and even then, you may have to physically clean the bowl, so I am not a fan of this legislation for compliance as it is counterproductive.

The next thing I found with this suite is that it leaked, not a rush but a dribble. I replaced the brand-new plunge washer, readjusted the float level and it still leaked until I hand ground the washer into its seat, that hand grinding meant moving the centre valve back and forth against the seat which helped bed the washer.

To be honest, this should not happen from a brand-new toilet suite and along with the poor S pan connector which is poorly designed gives the impression it was slapped together.

Another thing I noticed while looking underneath with a torch staring at the bend of the toilet suite, light penetrated very easily into the pan, which also told me the porcelain was thin.

I doubt the quality is there compared to some brands, but it will do the job and came with a 5-year warranty which I found differed depending on who you purchased the suite from, as some suppliers offered a 10-year warranty on the same suite. Go figure.

Not quality – Toilet seat flexes and feels junky especially for toddlers standing on the seat to reach the basin near by as they feel unstable. It is a soft plastic so may scratch easily.
